Today the presentation of the Huawei Mate 50 and Huawei Mate 40 RS , but next to them has also been presented the chip that will give them life, the Kirin 9000 , which as we have seen in leaks, is a processor fully capable of fighting high-end chips like the Snapdrgon 865 +.

As we can see in the slides shown by Huawei today, we are facing a processor that claims to be a 10% faster than Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 +, as well as having a Mali-G GPU 78 of 24 cores that would be 76% faster than the Adreno GPU found in the Snapdragon 865 +.

Manufactured to 5 nanometers , the Kirin 9000 works at 3. 13 GHz in its 8 cores , in addition to having an ISP a 40% more powerful than the Kirin 990 5G as well as an NPU an 150% more efficient than the one found in the Snapdragon 865 + , so that, although for now this is what Huawei tells us, it is to be expected that as the terminals come out at market and they can be tested ebas of performance, we can quantify the power of the new Huawei processors.

Additionally there will also be the Kirin 9000 E , a processor very similar to Kirin 9000 but that will feature a 2-core NPU instead of the 3-core NPU found in the Kirin 9000, as well as a GPU of 22 Mali-G kernels 76 instead of the 24 cores found in the standard model.
